Dune

Up until July when I read Dune, I had been in a reading dry spell for around 8 years (I am embarrassed to say!). Upon reading the first chapters, I was confused by the immediate thrust into worlds I had not been told of beforehand. But after that I consumed the book quicker than I had in a long time. My partner was even shocked at how enthralled I was with Dune, considering he hadn't seen me read like that since we had started dating. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed Dune with Herbert's fantastic world building and creating such amazing characters. This book should be on everyone's must read list. I look forward to reading the next two books in this series.
